Some weird casting just got weirder: According to Deadline, Kevin James is going to replace Simon Pegg as the villain in Becky, an “action thriller” starring The Haunting Of Hill House’s Lulu Wilson and directed by Bushwick’s Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion. The movie is about a rebellious teenager who goes on a weekend trip to a lake house with her father “in an effort to try to reconnect after her mother’s death,” but unfortunately for them, a group of escaped convicts is also planning to spend the weekend at the very same lake house. Hijinks ensue, obviously, but in sort of an action thriller way, with Becky deciding to “take matters into her own hands.”
